| Zest Labs Inc.source ↗ filed by Shaked Law Group, P.C. · No. 1:26-cv-07561 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Comparable rulings split: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal of ADA claims for lack of effective-modification proof, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations at summary judgment; Billesdon reversed most disability claims but kept retaliation. No clear directional signal for a small defendant like Zest Labs. Comparable settlements $65K–$530K median $200K · n=3 Covenant Retiremen $530K · Association of Apa $200K · Home Depot U.S.A., $65K Key precedent: Lowell v. Lyft (2d Cir.) matters most — same circuit (S.D.N.Y. feeds 2d Cir.) and shows plaintiffs bear burden to prove reasonable modification, a frequent dismissal ground. Main risk: Failure to plead/prove that requested accessibility modification is reasonable and effective, as in Lowell v. Lyft, leading to dismissal. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $20K–$125K Extremely limited defendant-specific data; class size and per-member figures are rough proxies given sparse web signals and no prior litigation history. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-03 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
